I feel for you.

I used to work in a small family owned import store. Lights off in the main store, closed sign on the door, door locked- but many a late night when we were doing inventory or something in the back rooms (you couldn’t see the back offices from the store front door)- you could hear people banging on the store’s front door… My boss & I would just keep an eye on them from the security monitor until they went away… Amazed by how often people did that.

I know this place, and let me tell you that that guy is an AMAZING asshole. He used to have only one of the signs up, and it was hard to see when he was behind the counter standing in front of the thing. A friend of mine had a repair done, attempted to pay with a card and was told he took cash only. There were no other customers anywhere near the place and it was early afternoon- well before closing time. She excused herself to literally cross the street and get cash from an ATM, and a couple of minutes later, when she returned, he told her the price had gone up five dollars for “wasting his time”. He’s called “The Shoe Nazi” around here and I tell everyone to go to another repair shop the next town over. Once they hear this and a couple of other anecdotes about this bastard, they thank me.

There have been many of time where I just wanted to put the same sign up, all over the place at work.
And to label where to order, and where to pick up your order.

We have a second register, that is RARELY used, that always says closed on it. People would still line up behind this register, so we put a very large sign over the register, saying it was closed, and to move down to the other one.

We constantly get people lining up at the pick up counter, and the closed register with a huge sign over it.

I constantly just want to shake the shit out of every dumb ass who lines up where signs tell them not to.

So I understand why the have 5 signs up.

Ok… They don’t take credit cards or debit cards, but checks they take? I wonder how many bounced checks they recieve? I don’t even know any stores that take checks anymore.

Inorite? Where I work we have our hours of operation along with what cards we take displayed in no less than seven places! In some cases, right next to each other. We have had the same hours for years. No one has a clue what cards we take or what our hours are.

Dude, so you will accept this postdated, two-party out of state check, and not my debit/credit card? Then I need twice as much fireworks/whippets/etc

Dude. Having worked in retail, and having having had our credit machines go down for a week once, I can safely say that they needed at least four more signs to get the point across.

And even then, people would still ask if they took credit/debit cards.

Thats because the put the open door button gurney length away from the door. Unless your in a gurney who would notice right off. They need a flashing light that goes from the door handle to the button. LOL

Actually, TOS the doors weren’t glass, they were wood. Well, wood-ish. I think they started out with one sign. When that didn’t work they started adding signs – all caps, red sharpie marker, exclamation points – the whole schmear. Some one even put a sign above the button that said “Push button to active doors” The peeps still ignored all of the signs. Too bad I didn’t discover PAN until long after the notes disappeared during the ER remodel.
